I can’t judge it – but on German site heise.de I found this comment. There, a user complains that the eLicense client “eLicenser Control Center” from Steinberg suddenly no longer displays license keys on a Windows 7 computer.

This post were called up more than 20,000 times within a few hours. This issue is a clear sign, that many user accounts on the share server machines running Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 are in the group of administrator accounts.

This even affected normal users who use a all-in-one devices with scan feature. An error occurred as soon as the device tried to save scans or faxes via SMBv1 to a network share on a Windows 7 computer. The bug was not an SMB problem, as assumed, but was caused by the NTLM.

RDP is broken in Windows?

Within the last few days I have seen several posts reporting problems with RDP connections. No matter if it’s related to the update or not: Here’s a post at German site administrator.de that refers to Windows 10 V1709.

Jet Database Engine Access 97 bug

Another problem that runs through all versions of Windows and was caused by the security updates of January 8, 2019, is access to databases in Access 97 .mdb format. When opening such a database, an error may occur indicating that the database has an incorrect format.

Further issues (Office, Windows)

Within this comment at German site heise.de a user complains that his Office 365 no longer wants to work with SharePoint 2016 (OnPremise). Whether it is an update bug or a misconfiguration, I cannot judge.
